Always Improving- Teahouse Brings Coffee to Next Level

The food and coffee at FGS Tea House is famous around Christchurch, and this is proven by the never-ending orders that are taken on weekends and public holidays.

To improve the quality of service at the Tea House, professional barista Andy Hsiao was invited to share his expert knowledge on coffee brewing with the staff at the Tea House. He is currently running the Dose Café in the city’s center, and is strict about the quality of coffee that is served to his customers.

BLIA Young Adults Division President Jason Liu and fellow YAD members, as well as BLIA South Island committee member Benny Wong were among those who took part in the coffee brewing class. Andy equipped the students with basic knowledge on the types of coffees available and demonstrated the correct way to work the coffee machine; by which all the students had a chance to brew some coffee.

In addition Andy also taught everyone the correct way of cleaning and maintaining the coffee machine. At the end of the class, everyone had gained enough confidence to serve the customers at Tea House with good coffee.
